This week's episode of "Gleeman and The Geek" was recorded at the Wild Boar in Hopkins, my beer choice was Leinenkugel Honey Weiss, and we were joined by special guest Nick Nelson. Topics included Joel Zumaya signing, Glen Perkins, Alexi Casilla, Francisco Liriano, and the arbitration process, Roy Oswalt rumors, Delmon Young's deal with Detroit, Victor Martinez's injury, revisiting the top Twins prospects of 2011, and John Bonnes' horrible beard.

Embrace the road trip, Aaron! Beloit’s only about 50 miles south of Madison. So here’s what you do. Make hotel reservations in Madison, then after the game, drive for an hour (surely you can survive that long) and record a podcast at The Great Dane. What could be better?
